We will go to France. We will +see some of the world besides home. + +Bring your hat. Good-bye, Papa. Farewell, Billy, and Harry, and every +body. We are going a great way off. And we shall go down the lane, and +through the church-yard and by the corner-house, and over the stile, +till we have got quite into the fields. How pretty the fields will +look! for it will be summer days again before we go. And there will be +yellow flowers, and white flowers, and grass, and trees, and hedges; +and the grasshoppers, will chirp, chirp, under our feet. Do not try to +catch them; it will only hinder us, and we have a great way to go. + +Pray what are those pretty creatures that look so meek and +good-natured, and have soft thick white wool upon their backs, like a +greatcoat, and make a noise like the little baby when it cries? Those +are sheep and lambs. And what are those creatures with horns, that +are bigger than the sheep? Some of them are black, and some red: they +make a loud noise, but they do not look as if they would hurt any +body. Those are cows that give milk. Stroke them. Poor cows! stand +still and look back. Now we cannot see papa's house at all; and we can +see only the top of the church steeple. Let us go a little farther. +Now look back. Now we cannot see the church at all. Farewell! We are +going a great way. Shall we ever come back again? Yes, we shall come +back again; but we must go on now. Come, make haste. + +What is that tall thing that has four great arms which move very fast? +I believe, if I was near it, they would strike me down. It is a +wind-mill. Those arms are the sails. The wind turns them round. And +what is a wind-mill for? It is to grind corn. You could have no bread +if the corn were not ground. Well, but here is a river; how shall we +do to get over it? Why, do you not see how those ducks do? they swim +over. But I cannot swim. Then you must learn to swim, I believe: it is +too wide to jump over. O, here is a Bridge! Somebody has made a +bridge for us quite over the river. That somebody was very good, for I +do not know what we should have done without it; and he was very clever +too. I wonder how he made it. I am sure I could not make such a bridge. + +[Illustration: Well, but here is a river.--_Page 12._] + +Well, we must go on, on, on; and we shall see more rivers, and more +fields, and towns bigger than our town a great deal--large towns, and +fine churches, streets, and people--more than there is at the fair. +And we shall have a great many high hills to climb. I believe I must +get somebody to carry the little boy up those high hills. And +sometimes we shall go through dusty sandy roads; and sometimes through +green lanes, where we shall hear the birds sing. + +[Illustration] + +Sometimes we shall go over wide commons, where we shall see no trees, +nor any house; and large heaths, where there is hardly any +grass--only some purple flowers, and a few black nosed little sheep. +Ha! did you see that pretty brown creature that ran across the path? +Here is another; and look! there is another; there are a great many. +They are rabbits. They live here, and make themselves houses in the +ground. This is a rabbit-warren. + +Now we are come amongst a great many trees--more trees than there are +in the orchard by a great many, and taller trees. There is oak, and +ash, and elm. This is a wood. What great boughs the trees have! like +thick arms. The sun cannot shine amongst the trees, they are so +thick. Look, there is a squirrel! Jumping from one tree to another. He +is very nimble. What a pretty tail he has! + +Well; when we have gone on a great many days, through a great many +fields and towns, we shall come to a great deep water, bigger a great +many times than the river, for you can see over the river, you +know--you can see fields on the other side; but this is so large, and +so wide, you can see nothing but water, water, as far as ever you can +carry your eyes. And it is not smooth, like the river; it is all +rough, like the great pot in the kitchen when it is boiling; and it is +so deep, it would drown you, if you were as tall as two church +steeples. I wonder what they call this great water? There is an old +fisherman sitting upon a stone drying himself; for he is very wet. I +think we will ask him. Pray, fisherman, what is this great water? It +is the sea: did you never hear of the sea? What! is this great water +the same sea that is on our map at home? Yes, it is. Well, this is +very strange! we are come to the sea that is in our map. But it is +very little in the map. I can lay my finger over it. Yes; it is +little in the map, because every thing is little in the map, the towns +are little, and the houses are little. + +Pray, fisherman, is there any thing on the other side of this sea? +Yes; fields, and towns, and people. Will you go and see them? I should +like to go very well; but how must we do to get over? for there is no +bridge here. Do not you see those great wooden boxes that swim upon +the water? They are bigger than all papa's house. There are tall poles +in the middle, as high as a tree. Those are masts. See! now they are +spreading the sails. Those white sheets are the sails. They are like +wings. These wooden boxes are like houses with wings. Yes, and I will +tell you what, little boy! they are made on purpose to go over the +sea; and the wind blows them along faster than a horse can trot. What +do they call them? They call them ships. You have seen a ship in a +picture. Shall we get in? What have those men in the ship got on? They +have jackets and trowsers on, and checked shirts. They are sailors. I +think we will make you a sailor; and then instead of breeches you must +have a pair of trowsers. Do you see that sailor, how he climbs up the +ropes? He runs up like a monkey. Now he is at the top of the mast. How +little he looks! but we must get in. Come, make haste: they will not +stay for us. What are you doing? picking up shells! We must get into a +boat first, because the ship is not near enough. Now we are in. + +Now we are upon the great sea. Blow, blow, wind! Sail away, ship! +There are little rooms in the ship. Those little rooms are called +cabins. Let us walk about, and look at the ship. Why, you cannot walk +steady; I am afraid you are tipsy! because the ship rolls about. But +the sailors can walk steady. The sea is not like the river; it is +greenish. Well, here is water enough if we should be thirsty. Yes, +here is water enough; but you would not like to drink it. It is salt +and bitter. You could not drink it. How fast we go! Now the fields are +a great way off. Now we cannot see any green fields at all, nor any +houses, nor any thing but the great deep water. It is water, all round +as far as ever we can see. Yes, and sky; we can see the sky too. All +sky over our heads, and all water every where round us! Do not be +afraid, little boy! blow, blow, wind! sail away, ship! I see some +things in the sea at a great distance. Those are more ships and boats. +How very small they are! they look like nut shells in a great pond. O, +now we are coming to the green fields and towns on the other side of +the sea! I can see them a little. Now I can see them very plain. And +here is a little piece of green land, with the water running all round +it. That is an island. A piece of land with water all round it, is an +island. But we are not going there; we are going to the great land. + +Now we are at the land. Get out of the ship. Pray, what country is +this? This is France. France! why France is in the map too. + +And pray what is the name of that country we came from, where we live, +and where papa lives? It is England. And the deep sea is between +France and England? Yes, you know it is so in the map. + +[Illustration: THE SHIP CHARLES CAME HOME IN.] + +O, France is a pretty place! it is warmer than our country: and here +are pretty flowers and fine fruit, and large grapes. I never saw such +large grapes in all my life. And the vines grow in the fields; they do +not grow against walls, as our vines do. And there are a great many +people, men and women, and little boys and girls, singing, and dancing +about, and so merry! nothing can be like it. I think we will live +here, and send for papa and Arthur. Let us go and talk with those +people. Here, you little girl! pray give us some of your nice fruit. +_Serviteur Monsieur._ What do you say, little girl? I do not +understand you. I cannot help that. Here is an old man cutting vines; +we will speak to him. Pray, old man, will you give us some of your +fruit? We are come a great way to see you. _Serviteur Monsieur._ What +do you say? We do not know what _Serviteur Monsieur_ is. It is French. +But we do not understand French. I cannot help that; you must go home +and learn. And why do you speak French? Because this is France. Did +not you know that every body speaks French in France! Ha, ha, ha! He, +he, he! Ho, ho, ho! Here is a foolish little boy come a great way over +the sea, and does not know that every body speaks French in France. +Ha, ha, ha! He, he he! Ho, ho, ho! Here is a foolish little boy come +a great way over the sea, and does not know that every body speaks +French in France. Ha, ha, ha! He, he, he! Ho, ho, ho! Here is a +foolish little boy come a great way over the sea, and does not know +that every body speaks French in France. Ha, ha, ha! He, he, he! Ho, +ho, ho!--What shall we do, little boy? every body laughs at us; and +all the little birds twitter and chirp at us. We will go home again. +Farewell, France! We will not go to France again till papa has taught +us to talk French. Let us go into the ship again. Blow, wind, sail +away ship! Now we are got back again. Pray, papa, teach the little boy +French before he goes a great way abroad again. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE BALL PLAYERS. + + + Up goes the ball with might and main, + And soon it cometh down again; + Ups and down, I've heard them say + For many a year, is the world's way! + + Up goes the ball,--like a goblet-cup; + Hold your hand as you send it up! + Down it comes,--ere it reach the ground, + Catch the ball so firm and round. + + An up and down, that is the way, + With a good round ball, that you must play; + Up, high as you can, then down again, + Five and five, and a double ten. + +[Illustration] + + The world is a ball, and every star, + And the sun himself, great balls they are; + Round they go, and round about, + Ever and ever, yet ne'er are out! + + Up goes the ball! Oh, if I threw + Up to the very sky so blue, + Up to the moon, or to Charles Wain, + 'Twould be long ere the ball came down again! + + An up and down--that is the way, + With a good round ball, that you must play; + Up, high as you can, and down again, + Ten and ten, and six times ten! + + Face to the shade, and back to the shine; + Send up your balls with a toss like mine, + Straight as a dart, as if 't were cast + From the spring of a mighty arbalast. + +[Illustration] + + There it goes! good luck to the ball! + Here it comes, with a plumping fall; + How merry it is, our balls to throw, + Standing together thus in a row! + + An up and a down, that is the way, + With a good round ball, that you must play; + Up, high as you can, and down again, + Now, we have counted ten times ten. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration: He was afraid of dogs, too.--_Page 40._] + +THE LITTLE BOY WHO WAS A COWARD. + + +There was once a little boy, who was a sad coward. He was afraid of +every thing almost. He was afraid of the two kids, Nanny and Billy, +when they came and put their noses through the pales of the court; and +he would not pluck Billy by the beard. What a silly boy he was! Pray +what was his name? Nay, indeed, I shall not tell you his name; for I +am ashamed of him. Well, he was much afraid of dogs, too: he always +cried if a dog barked, and ran away, and took hold of his mamma's +apron like a baby. What a foolish fellow he was! for the dogs do not +hurt, you know; they love little boys and play with them. Did you ever +see a dog eat up a little boy? No, never, I dare say. Well; so this +simple little boy was walking by himself one day, and a pretty black +dog came out of a house, and said, bow, wow, bow, wow; and came to the +little boy, and jumped upon him, and wanted to play with him; but the +little boy ran away. The dog ran after him, and cried louder, bow, +bow, wow; but he only meant to say, Good-morrow, how do you do? but +this little boy was sadly frightened, and ran away as fast as ever he +could, without looking before him, and he tumbled into a very dirty +ditch, and there he lay crying at the bottom of the ditch, for he +could not get out: and I believe he would have laid there all day, but +the dog was so good-natured that he went to the house where the little +boy lived, on purpose to tell them where he was. So, when he came to +the house, he scratched at the door, and said, Bow, wow; for he could +not speak any plainer. So they opened the door. + +What do you want, you black dog? We do not know you. Then the dog went +to Ralph the servant, and pulled him by the coat, and pulled him till +he brought him to the ditch; and the dog and Ralph together got the +little boy out of the ditch; but he was all over mud, and quite wet, +and every body laughed at him because he was a coward. + +Now, Charles, my pen is tired, I cannot write any more at present; but +if you are a good boy, perhaps I may write you some more stories +another time. Farewell. + + + + +[Illustration] + +MY MOTHER. + + + My own mamma! + My dear mamma! + How happy I shall be, + To-morrow night + At candle light, + When she comes home to me. + + 'Tis just a week, + Since on my cheek, + She pressed a parting kiss, + It seems like two, + I never knew, + So long a week as this. + + My tangled hair + She smoothed with care, + With water bathed my brow, + And all with such + A gentle touch-- + There's none to do so now. + + I cannot play + When she's away, + There's none to laugh with me, + And much I miss + The tender kiss-- + The seat upon her knee. + + When up to bed + I'm sorrowing led, + I linger on the stairs; + I lie and weep; + I cannot sleep; + I scarce can say my prayers. + + But she will come, + She'll be at home + To-morrow night, and then + I hope that she + Will never be + So long away again. + + + + +[Illustration] + +STORIES OF DOGS. + + +Dogs are very useful creatures, and they are much attached to man. +Some of them will play with little boys, will run after a ball and +bring it back to their playfellow. Spaniels or water dogs will bring +sticks which are thrown into the water. Some carry baskets. They do +many useful and amusing things for their masters. + +There is a large house upon the top of a mountain, in Italy, in which +a great many people live, called monks. The house is called a convent. +These monks have a very fine breed of dogs, called the dogs of St. +Bernard. They are a very large fine looking dog, very strong and very +bold, and yet very kind. Not cross, like some of the little curs, we +see every day. These dogs are trained to go down the mountains, and if +they find any travelers, who have lost their way in the deep snow, or +who are unable to get to the convent, these dogs help them. One of +them in ranging about the mountain a few years ago, met with a poor +little boy, almost dead with cold and hunger, and so benumbed that he +could not walk. + +[Illustration] + +The dog made signs to him, so as to make him understand, that he wanted +him to get up upon his back, which after much trouble, the poor little +boy did, and the dog carried him to the convent, where he was put into a +warm bed, and taken so good care of, that he was soon quite well. + +All dogs, however, are not like the good dogs of St. Bernard. Some are +very vicious. Such dogs are dangerous animals, and certainly should +not be permitted to go unchained. + +[Illustration: He rushed into the parlor, where all the family were at +tea. _Page 55._] + +There was an instance of great ferocity on the part of a dog exhibited +not long since, in the streets of New York. A horse belonging to a poor +drayman, got free from the halter with which he was fastened, and +started for home. The drayman as soon as he found the horse gone, +went in pursuit and called upon the people in the streets to stop his +horse. A bull-dog also taking the alarm pursued the horse, and soon +coming up with him, seized the poor animal by the upper lip. The horse, +terribly frightened, ran along several streets, the dog all the time +hanging to his lip. At length a crowd collecting prevented his farther +progress; and to escape being caught, and frantic with pain and fear, he +rushed into a hardware shop, and thence into the parlor where all the +family were at tea. After turning over the chairs and table, they were +driven back into the shop, when every exertion was made in vain by the +owner of the horse, and several others to release the animal from the +gripe of the tormentor. At last one of the company with a knife put an +end to the dog's existence, thus releasing the poor horse. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +STORY OF A NAUGHTY BOY. + + +There was a naughty boy; I do not know what his name was, but it was +not Charles, nor George, nor Arthur, for those are all very pretty +names: but there was a robin came in at his window one very cold +morning--shiver--shiver; and its poor little heart was almost frozen +to death. And he would not give it the least little crumb of bread in +the world, but pulled it about by the tail, and hurt it sadly, and it +died. Now a little while after, the naughty boy's papa and mamma went +away and left him, and then he could get no victuals at all, for you +know he could not take care of himself. So he went about to every +body--Pray give me something to eat, I am very hungry. And every body +said, No, we shall give you none, for we do not love cruel, naughty +boys. So he went about from one place to another, till at last he got +into a thick wood of trees, for he did not know how to find his way +any where; and then it grew dark, quite a dark night. So he sat down +and cried sadly; and he could not get out of the wood; and I believe +the bears came and eat him up in the wood, for I never heard any thing +about him afterwards. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +STORY OF THE SILLY LAMB. + + +I will tell you a story about a lamb. There was once a shepherd, who +had a great many sheep and lambs. He took a great deal of care of +them, and gave them sweet fresh grass to eat, and clear water to +drink; and if they were sick he was very good to them, and when they +climbed up a steep hill, and the lambs were tired, he used to carry +them in his arms; and when they were all eating their suppers in the +field, he used to sit upon a stile, and play them a tune, and sing to +them; and so they were the happiest sheep and lambs in the whole +world. But every night this shepherd used to pen them up in a fold. Do +you know what a sheepfold is? Well, I will tell you. It is a place +like the court; but instead of pales there are hurdles, which are made +of sticks that will bend, such as osier twigs; and they are twisted +and made very fast, so that nothing can creep in, and nothing can get +out. Well, and so every night, when it grew dark and cold, the +shepherd called all his flock, sheep and lambs, together, and drove +them into the fold, and penned them up, and there they lay, as snug +and warm and as comfortable as could be, and nothing could get into +and hurt them, and the dogs lay round on the outside to guard them, +and to bark if any body came near; and in the morning the shepherd +unpenned the fold, and let them all out again. + +Now they were all very happy, as I told you, and loved the shepherd +dearly that was so good to them--all except one foolish little lamb. And +this lamb did not like to be shut up every night in the fold; and she +came to her mother, who was a wise old sheep, and said to her, I wonder +why we are shut up so every night! the dogs are not shut up, and why +should we be shut up? I think it is very hard, and I will get away if I +can, I am resolved, for I like to run about where I please, and I think +it is very pleasant in the woods by moonlight. Then the old sheep said +to her, you are very silly, you little lamb, you had better stay in the +fold. The shepherd is so good to us, that we should always do as he bids +us; and if you wander about by yourself, I dare say you will come to +some harm. I dare say not, said the little lamb: and so when the evening +came, and the shepherd called them all to come into the fold, she would +not come, but crept slily under a hedge and hid herself; and when the +rest of the lambs were all in the fold and fast asleep, she came out and +jumped, and frisked, and danced about; and she got out of the field, and +got into a forest full of trees, and a very fierce wolf came rushing out +of a cave and howled very loud. Then the silly lamb wished she had been +shut up in the fold; but the fold was a great way off,--and the wolf +saw her, and seized her, and carried her away to a dismal dark den, all +covered with bones and blood; and there the wolf had two cubs, and the +wolf said to them, Here, I have brought you a young fat lamb--and so the +cubs took her, and growled over her a little while, and then tore her to +pieces, and ate her up. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +LUCY AND HER LAMB. + + + Lucy had a little lamb, + Its fleece was white as snow, + And every where that Lucy went, + The lamb was sure to go. + + He followed her to school one day; + That was against the rule; + It made the children laugh and play, + To see the lamb at school. + + And so the teacher turned him out, + But still he lingered near: + And waited patiently about, + Till Lucy did appear. + + And then he ran to her, and laid + His head upon her arm, + As if he said, "I'm not afraid; + You'll shield me from all harm." + + "What makes the lamb love Lucy so?" + The little children cried; + "Because she loves the lamb, you know," + The teacher quick replied. + + "And you, each gentle animal, + In confidence may bind, + And make them follow at your call, + If you are always kind." + + + + + UNCLE THOMAS' STORIES FOR + GOOD CHILDREN. + + + POETICAL TALES.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
